Privacy and security concerns, most of them are like big tech on wheels. See Telsa and others spying on users during intimate moments. Also most have major security vulnerabilities.

Just hotspot, unlimited data. Also donating to a nonprofit

Yeah I assume they’re good on privacy, but having a WiFi network showing global position isn’t ideal. In case you’re not aware, all WiFi networks are globally traversed and public information. wigle.net for more info

Maybe have the network name something generic to your region and then a VoIP number and Signal/Briar/Session/whatever

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, only US probably due to the “education” radio frequency stipulation for their nonprofit to get the service at all. Which is why I want it, to study

Thank you!

Very cool! Yeah can you have multiple SSID channels? Can you set the DNS? Does it perform as you’d expect?

Hopefully the author explains how to use SSL/TLS since their site doesn’t :/

Seriously. It isn’t helpful towards the environment if we are using so many resources to mine chips and metals and then push it along the internet to then be trained on said AI bots. Would be more sustainable using paper and planting trees smh

Also the internet uses massive amounts of water and energy

Yeah, with a shrinking supply, prices will skyrocket no matter what

So from a security mindset, this is a nightmare. This person must be a paid plant for Big Cross-Site-Tracking

I welcome my human counterparts

The quick defederarion option is a nice defense. Could be some damage in the meantime though

Either or. Would be more nefarious to have users sign up for a malicious instance unknowingly and then federate with non malicious instances

Maybe add to the caveat if it’s internet connected? I kinda like some old apps that don’t require network access and don’t really need an update (think guitar tuners, the frequency of a note hasn’t changed and as long as the underlining OS API still runs then I don’t see much of a problem)

How much time do you estimate (or know) you spend on these other apps?

HEY FELLOW HUMAN, MAYBE YOU NEED TO JUST EMBRACE THE ODDITIES OF THE INTERNET AND JOIN THE PACK. RARELY DO PACK MEMBERS TALK ABOUT COMPUTERS OR BRAINS!

SERIOUSLY, IT’S BEST PLACE ON THE INTERNET

(ANY SIBLINGS OUT THERE THAT CAN LINK THIS FEDIVERSE STYLE?)

[Quip that adds to your comment, but also shows some personality on my end]

Maybe T-shirt and local conversations at 3rd places might help?
